Protect me
A/N: This is set before Psycho Sarah is out of rehab. Just so I don't confuse you Laurissa and Fred are using the Aliases of 'Holly' and 'Ronan' but I will refer to them by their real names. The people of Summer Bay however will refer to them as Holly and Ronan. Don't worry it'll make sense when you read the story.
Disclaimer: The characters of Home and Away belong to...well actually I don't know, but they ain't mine sadly. However Laurissa and Fred are mine so nobody can else 'em but me.
Part 1: Holly and Ronan
She watched him move about the boat with great interest. Every move he made was so swift, so natural, and so perfect. In the years she had known him she would have never guessed he would end up here working on the Blaxland. She was proud of him when she discovered that this is what he was doing with his life. She smiled as he disappeared into the cabin to fetch something below deck.
"So are we going to go talk to him?" Her boyfriend asked from behind her.
She turned to face the man she had returned to the bay with. She wasn't given a choice in bringing him. He wasn't exactly happy in her choice to come to the bay. In fact he protested against it for hours in the biggest fight the couple had ever have. She would have broken it off with him then and there except she couldn't. She needed him. Not in the I-need-you-cause- I-need-a-boyfriend way, but in the you-better-stay-with-me-or-we're-gonna- get-killed kind of way.
"He's working" She replied.
"Laurissa we look like stalkers standing here. If you're not even going to talk to him then maybe we should agree to go where the cops want to place us" Her boyfriend suggested.
"Don't call me Laurissa, Ronan" She hissed. "Remember what I told you about fake names. You're Rowan" She pointed to him before pointing at herself. "and I'm Holly for now"
"Ronan? Laur- I mean Holly why do I have to be Ronan?" He complained.
"'Cause its much sexier than Fred" She snapped.
The man on the boat had appeared to remain below deck. Laurissa sighed in disappointment. She caved into Fred as they headed back to the car.
That was another thing he had not been impressed with. Fred knew very well that he would not be allowed to drive his convertible BMW around anymore, but he had no idea what car Laurissa would find for him. It was a run down blue lazar with fading P plates stuck onto it. Laurissa told him that a P platter with a car as high quality as Fred's would be easily spotted. Both Laurissa and Fred had fathers who were well off and lead a luxurious life. Fred's car was part of it all. He told Laurissa giving it up felt like loosing part of his soul. She just rolled her eyes and ignored his continuous whining as they drove from the city.
"Where to? It better be close before this car breaks down" Fred stated.
"Oh just shut-up about the car. Its fine." Laurissa glanced back at the docks for a moment before looking straight at the road ahead. "Go to the caravan park"
Fred thought about complaining. He did not want to stay for who knows how long in a caravan park. No matter what Laurissa thought he wasn't as stupid as she believed. Fred knew he couldn't stay in an expensive hotel. Neither of them were going to be able to use their credit cards and between them there was no way they'd have enough money to stay somewhere expensive when they didn't know how long they were going to be in the bay.
"We have to go into the house? They don't even have an office?" Fred continued to complain as Laurissa lead him from the car to the house.
"Yes Ronan" She used his fake name just to annoy him.
Only Matilda was there that day. She had no idea where her mother was, Rhys was working and the boys were out doing immature boy stuff. Matilda didn't mind though. She happily sat on the couch watching a DVD. Usually at this time in the afternoon it would normally be on football.
Just as Nicole Kidman was going to begin to sing to Ewan McGregor their 'secret song' a teenage couple entered into the house.
"The door was open" The boy said explaining why they had just walked into the house.
[I] No he's not a boy. He's a man[/I] Matilda thought to herself. She liked the looks of this one. He looked suave and expensive. Not at all like the normal customers.
The girl looked the same. She was wearing clothes that you certainly wouldn't be able to find at Yabbie creek. Her long strawberry blonde hair flowed over her shoulders and bounced as she walked into the house.
"Hi. I'm Holly and this is Ronan" Laurissa introduced the couple to Matilda.
"I'm Matilda" She replied still looking at Fred.
Laurissa knew what Matilda was doing. She was checking out Fred. Laurissa couldn't help but smile. If this Matilda knew Fred's personality she wouldn't be acting so charming with him.
"I suppose you're here for a van?" Matilda asked Fred.
Although Laurissa really didn't care if Matilda thought her 'boyfriend' was good looking, Laurissa decided that she'd make things clear for the girl. Fred was going to be Laurissa's man as long as she needed him to be. So in order to make things clear Laurissa moved closer to Fred, slipping her hand into his.
"Yes please Matilda" Laurissa continued to speak for the couple. "But we're not sure how long we're staying"
"That's fine. I'll put you down for a week." Matilda went to the small table where the book and keys for the caravan park sat. "I'll put you in van six. Do you want me to show you where it is?"
"No. This park isn't that big. I'm sure we can find it by ourselves" Laurissa smirked as she played with Fred's hair.
"No what brings you to Summer bay?" Matilda quickly asked before Laurissa could whisk Fred away.
"Love" Laurissa answered brilliantly. "Our parents don't want us to be together so we had to get away. I'm sorry Matilda, maybe we can talk some other time, but Ronan and I have to go unpack"
Matilda's face fell. Trying to get the single Kim to notice her was one thing, but she had no hope if this 'Ronan' guy was really in love. She said her goodbye and turned back to Moulin Rouge.
"Did you mean what you said back there?" Fred asked Laurissa as they headed to their van.
"What? About meaning to unpack? Yeah" Laurissa briskly replied as she counted the caravans.
"You know what I was talking about. The whole can't keep your hands off me and saying we're here for love. Was it real or just another one of your games?" He asked as she walked up the steps to their van.
Laurissa opened the caravan and waited until they were both inside until she turned to Fred to answer him.
"I don't play games. You and I were over a long time ago. You knew that we only spent the last two weeks together to keep up appearances. And then...this happened" Laurissa didn't want to say any details of why they were in the bay out loud. "I had to think of something to say to Matilda so that was the first thing that popped into my head" "You could have just said we were there for a holiday. Do you have to be so dramatic all the time?" Fred asked flopping down on the bed.
"Ugh. If you're just going to fight with me then I'm going for a walk. You can start unpacking if you want." Laurissa stated as she exited the van.
Laurissa walked down by the docks in hopes of catching her friend. It was heading towards sunset, so he'd have to be off work soon. It was a warm day and Laurissa enjoyed the fact that she could wear her thongs wherever she went in the bay.
Laurissa sat on the grass and just stared at the bay for a moment. She wasn't mad at Fred. He meant less and less to her as the weeks wore on. They had started out as the cute high school couple. The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other. Fred would shower Laurissa in gifts and she would go everywhere with him. Then it slowly began to wear off. It only took Laurissa a couple of weeks to realize that she and Fred were only together for show.
They both attended an elite private school and were both well known in the upper class part of Sydney. Someone at their age couldn't attend important functions without a date so they continued to go out together. Although Fred was a little slower than Laurissa he knew what was happening between them. He just didn't want to let go of a good thing.
They were forced to come to the bay because of an extreme situation. The pair could lie to their friends and family easily if they were going away together. Plus having a buff male around was a positive for Laurissa as it was protection for her.
She was only sitting for a few minutes when she heard someone call her name. It wasn't the alias that she was using, but her real name. Fred wouldn't dare to call out her real name to her, which meant it could only be one other person.
Laurissa stood up and saw her friend walking towards her. She smiled at him. He had grown up a lot since she had seen him last.
"Kane, hi"
